In short
RadarCast - NOAA HD FutureCast is a weather app for Android created by WeatherSphere. It can be recommended to weather geeks.
Highlights
I find the radarcast helpful when planning mountain bike rides
When showing rain coverage and intensity in the Gulf Coast area
I like the features this app provides for weather geeks like me
This is a perfect up tonthe minute tool I use everyday
Finally found a app that gives me a good animated Futurecast thanks
The best weather app
Perfect for rain checks
So far this is my go to weather app for accurate observable weather
Gives good forecast results for the next hour
Just a great radar app
I'm not positive the time stamp and radar image are synced correctly
The Futurecast part of this paid app is broken
Doesn't pick up area showers at all
I have sent multiple emails to support and have not had any response
Suggest spending your money elsewhere
